IT HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL!! They spent too much time on the graphics, new 'mons, and kinda not super important things and not enough on making the plot as awesomely epic as it could have been.
Also some of the minor changes (such as leveling mechanics, and the super training thing) are just more annoying then helpful/fun....

I almost always find level grinding to be tedious and unnecessary...and I thought the towns were more memorable than a lot of other Pokémon towns. I'm not sure when the plot in Pokémon was EVER amazing, so I'm not sure what you were expecting there. And after struggling through the leveling mechanics in Gen V, I thought the changes were welcome and good (and I love Super Training).
In any case, you could always turn Exp Share off if you want a more traditional experience. A lot of what I'd call improvements are kind of optional.
Well for me, I was young when I started playing Pokemon, as in I had a lot of free time so I never really minded the grinding. And to be honest, I haven`t finished a Pokemon game since Ruby and Sapphire, and even though it took me around the same number of hours to finish it, I can`t really remember anything about X and Y`s story or world, whereas in Ruby I was really engrossed the whole way (maybe because I was younger?). It was just a blur to me, and that`s what I didn`t like.
I haven't played Black too much, and I was never really into EV training or anything like that, so I guess the improvements didn't affect me that much in a positive way (though i can't say they were completely unwelcome). Also, I don't think I could just turn off exp. share and play, knowing it's there.
Anyways, I don't really feel like starting a new game at this point, I feel like I put too much into it already (though I really haven't).
